Hudson Valley area.....NY
Temple -3 over XU **
To much Randal and Wyatt for Xu to handle.

Ark LR -3 over North Texas **
Cannot believe UL Monroe who sucks comes into Denton and blows NT away.NT can't win at home why would the win on the road.

La Tech -8.5 over Texas St **
Could have gone to this game 2nite but am passing since I was out last nite at the Texas game. San Marcos is about 30 minutes from my house...Tech wins by double d's.

Kentucky -12.5 over Vandy **
Although its not the same UK team and there having some problems... when they play teams like Vandy, I think they roll big..tonite

New Mex St -4 over Seattle **

Colorado -8.5 over USC *****
Love the Buffs here...after losing to Zona{ they really won} and Zona St they come home like a " herd of Buffalos".Booker and Dinwiddle can score. With Scott and and Roberson in the paint.USC will have more problems with the high altitude and low oxygen...then those 4 guys...Buffs win by 15..

Zona St +5 over Oregon St **

MAAC

Iona -8.5 over Marist *****
Line should be double digits.. I know why there not. Iona has so much offensive talent but has struggled with some MAAC teams..Playing Manhattan with there top 2 players out and they only win by 8...Momo Jones avg 22.5 pts a game..He is a Big East gd playing in the MAAC.Armond is hitting 43% from the 3.Laurey the new addition can sore and more importantly rebound...talent every where...yet they play down to the level their playing...and defense...Foxes are hurting again losing 5 in a row, 8 out of last 10. Martin should of been fired last yr...Price and Lewis are so up and down scoring...Kemp hasn't got any better in 2 yrs...Bowie their 6'5 fd is out again tonite.. Martin cannot play man/man so he;ll play his 2-3 zone...Armond in the pregame warmups will be salivating. Iona can't shoot or score...if Iona doesn't put these guys away tonite something is wrong in the locker room..McCann Field house will get a few more people tonite but all the students are away...its cub scouts and boy scouts nite out..Iona wins by 15 -20...if they just play a little defense..

Manhattan -3 over Rider **
Jaspers have 6'7 Brown and that's it... yet there staying around games..Alvarado is still out....

Last night Texas- West Vir wow,what a game....got to meet Dog Lover from MJ's at halftime...what a great guy....typical Texas Longhorn alumni and fan...season tickets with his buddy...great loyal fan...will see him at the Kansas game next week...

The game was unreal. Texas and WV have nothing.I guess its rebuilding years....Dog Lover and I saw...117 missed shots..Tex was 19-62 and WV 19-55...From the 3 pt line...3-20 and 4-17..so we saw 30 missed 3 pointers...and from the FT line..no it doesn't get better...Tex 11-25 and WV 16-26..so if you throw in all those missed shots..the total....of missed shots was 141....I wonder if that is a record...WV won in OT after Texas tied it up in regulation at the buzzer....

A couple of funny notes from the game...
Texas fans stand up until Texas makes a basket. Well for 5 minutes Texas was 0-10 and we didn't sit down until 14.50 left on the clock...going to Marist games all my life thank god we don't do that. We would be standing all night.

At one of the time outs they put Fox TV's weatherman on their jumbo trom..." this is Mike from Fox".tomorrow's weather will be sunny in the mid 60's and maybe 70's on friday...We could never do that in Poughkeepsie..." tomorrows weather...sleet turning to ice and a snow accumulation of 2-4 inches...by the way its sleeting right now"....
Anyway had a great time at the game and it was nice meeting a fellow Madjacker...
Went 7-6 yesterday....thank you Towson
Iona and Colorado top picks..

haha that's great.
Was hoping to find a total on that Gaels/Foxes game. I don't expect much D in that one.
Love the write-ups :0008

Agree completely with the Colorado analysis.

My father worked at North Texas so this Aggie is except from any hate.

thanks guys..Jord I really spent so much time on the North Texas game...on paper they have more talent and athletes...but this coach is the worst...no discipline at all....Jones ran better offenses and he really sucks as a coach..you watch LSU in the next couple of yrs..he'll recruit great because he did that at Denton but talent only gets you so far. Auburn isn't that good and beat them last nite...
Mitchell is a stud...big time..but every one doubles him.They put him down in the low blocks and force it in..then Mitchell wanders out to the 3 and takes a few...played it lightly because they also can't defend..Lehigh w/o McCollum blew them out of the gym.. 6'10 Neighbor will give NT problems 2 nite..
